First, you'll want hard boil your eggs and then place them in the fridge so you can begin the dying process.
Cut your cabbage into chunks and put them into a pot with 4 cups of water. Bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. I wanted a pretty strong dye so I let mine simmer for 30 minutes.
After the cabbage is finished simmering strain the liquid into a bowl and add 2 Tablespoons of white vinegar. Make sure to stir it up well and be careful of spills!
If creating a design, place your flower (or alternative) onto the egg and use the panty hose to hold it in place. You'll want it pretty taught so the design stays in place. Small rubber bands can be used to tie it as well as bread ties.
Place your eggs into a cup or bowl full of the dye. For the palest of hues submerge for about 15 mins and for darker colors leave them overnight in the refrigerator. You can experiment by pulling them out and checking until you get the right shade!
The last step in creating natural dyed Easter eggs is setting them out to dry. You can lay them on a wire baking rack to air dry or gently pat them with a towel.
